I've picked Go back up after not playing for about 20 years. I was never any good at it. I am still not good at it. From reading Go forums, that's just how it is - you play a hundred some games of Go and you start actually seeing patterns, but also you always feel bad at it, always, forever.
(I am bad at it, though. I do not win against other beginners with even less experience than me. This is surprising to them because I'm very good at most board games.)
It does not seem like I'm getting any better, but I have one clue that something is going on: I become very tired and headachy after about 15 minutes of doing tsumego problems.
Clearly my brain is working hard to figure out something. But it's still a black box.
